Unwilling OF Caihonn.s Statue.

The statue in honor Of John Caldwell Cal.
houn was unveiled at Charleston, S. c., yes
terday, in the presence of an immense as
semblage, and an eloquent Grafton was de-
| livered by Secretary Lamar. The day was
bright and the streets were full of people
from an early hour. The military part OF
the pageant comprised three brigades, com.
posed of organizations from all parts of the
State, and the civic part embraced all the
societies, schools and colleges in the city,
consisting Of over 8 900 persons and about
100 carriages. The Vice Presidents salute
of nineteen guns was fired by platoon
composed of old citizens who paraded at
Calhoun's funeral thirty. seven years ago.
The number of spectators along the route
was not less than twenty thousand, and the
crowd that gathered around the statue was
but little less. The statue was draped by
both the State and the national colors
which were drawn away by six little child
rem, while thirty five young ladies and
misses stood around as sponsors. Most of
them are relatives OF Mr. Calhoun. Six
baby JEWELLERS pulled the ropes under the
supervision of the attending young ladies'
1t is estimated that over fifteen thousand
people listened to the grafton OF Mr.. Lamar,
which occupied two hoursinits delivery. He
paid high tribute to Calhoun's devotion to
the people OF South Carolina and his inter
est in their welfare and showed at the same
time. by quotations from Mr.. Cahoun's
speeches and by the testimony of his con-
temporaries, that his attachment to the
Union was deep and strong, that his patriot
ism was bounded only by the limits of the
whole country. The notification which
Mr.. Calhoun advocated the speaker said not
only did not involve disunion or secession,
but was directly opposed to both, contem.
plating an abrogation of Federal edicts by
the States of which the Federal Union
was bogn-an abrogation of sectional pro.
tective tariffs, passed for the aggrandize.
nlent OF one locality at the expense of the
impoyerishment of another. Mr.. Lamar
took occasion to say that he does not share
Calhoun's views of the right of notification
and that the question of secession aud dis
union is setled forever; but he represented
that Calhoun's course was sincere and con-
sceatious.

Ronanza Mines.

ST LOUIS, April PA special dispatch
from the City of Mexico Iiumphantly an
Dounces the discovery of Two CT the seven
lost Mexican bonanza mines by an Amerl,
can party of prospectors. Humboldt and
Hamilton speak of the fabulous wealth OBJ
tanned from these mines by Spnnards. They
were worked up 10 the middle OF the last
century. In 1856 the Indians swept over
northern Mexico and destroyed Chihuahua,
and all the miners were driven out. The
Indians held control OF the country so long
that all records were lost. Recently Lieu
tenant Ripper, formerly of the United
States army W. X. Glenn, of Illinois,
Captain Allen and J. Mcintyre, of Chicago,
went out on surveying expedition in the
interest of Il Sonora land company, and in
an old chapel, found maps and other data.
Dividing into four small parties, thorough
search was begun and Mclntyre's party To-
Gated what is believed to be the Layopa sill
yer mine. 1t is in the midst of thousands of
ruined buildings among large churches and
foris Within radius Of four miles are
42O workings, old Spanish furnaces and tons
of Stag. A few daye later Bowers party
reported the discovery OF the Guayanopa in
the heart OF the Sierra Madre mountains.
Around it are the rnips of lis Rastoras.
Advices from Nogales confirm the report
and state that great placer field has been To-
Gated where the Jesuits of two hundred
years ago found fortunes for the church.
Great excitement in mining centres prevails.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 81.

TIE ADDRESS of Secretary Lamar at the
nnveilinc of the statue of Calhoun, at
Charleston, yesterday, vas an able and good
one. and though it contained nothing new,
il revived the memory OF many things that
had been almost forgotten, the recollection
the ,ruth OF democratic principles. Nothing
was better known to the contemporaries OF
Mr.. Calhoun than that his ideas respecting
the constitutional status of slavery were in
strict accordance with those Of John Quincy
Adams, Daniel Webster. Henry Clay and all
the other great statesmen Of that date, and
experience has proved that the recognition
of notification would have avoided all the
losses and miseries Of the war between
the States, the danger of which he clearly
foresaw. Mr.. Calhouns purity and sim
certy were never questioned By his greatest
enemy among those who knew him. On
the evening Of the day Mr.. Lamar delivered
his address in Charleston. Mr.. George Z.
Gorham delivered speech before coloFed
audience in Washington, in which he stig
matizsd John c. Calhoun as the Judas Isca-
riot. in whose honor cabinet officials have
made pilgrimage to the birthplace Of Sc
ceesion. Calhoun" said he, put, after
much effort, the rattlesuake in the national
nest with the eagle, and TO the progeny Of
these two was entrusted the future of the
nation; the rattcsnake was always crowded,
he wanted more room; he wanted nation
of rattlesnakes." Mess,s. Lamar and Cor
ham are true representatives OF the po-
litical parties to which they respectively

Flour IS quiet and ilrm the demand IS rc2uIAr,
but mainly confined to the near wants of the
jobbing trade. The Wheat markets are easier in
tone for futures, with more liberal sales and
speculative grades are in full sympathy, but we
still note constant demand at unchanged figures
for prime milling Wheats for near delivery. Corn
is active. Rye and Oats are steady. Poultry and
other produce is weak and low caused by the
more liberal receipts of fish.
